The Digital Museum of Modern Art is a real museum, but it exists entirely in cyberspace. Not the spawn of some great megalopolis, it was instead (like a twisted character of a William Gibson novel), born in the outfields of Cleveland, Ohio.

The Digital Museum of Modern Art welcomes experimentation and new forms of visual expression, as well as old forms and technique used in new ways.

The Digital Museum of Modern Art sees modern art as representing more than a mere continuum of art movements and events. Rather, it believes that the art of this time can be represented within the template of a quilt, patched together from a thousand vibrant pieces; or a seemless cloth, its crossing threads incrementally woven into the fabric of the brain.

If an "ism" is needed, then "inclusionism" will do.

The Digital Museum of Modern Art sees technology as not only an adjunct to the museum experience; but also as a wondrous tool to achieve an expansion of that experience. Indeed, technology opens the doors of the museum to new audiences, to the entire world, any time, day or night. And into "outer" space the museum will go also, because mankind cannot travel the galaxy without taking art along.

For all of mankind, art is definitional.

While exploration and discovery is important; the Digital Museum of Modern Art believes that education is mankind's highest calling. DMOMA is dedicated to working with young artists, encouraging their creativity; and providing a venue for them to show their visual art, music, perfomance and dance; all enhanced through the capabilities and opportunites afforded by digital technology.

The Digital Museum of Modern Art is not an online art gallery or a commercial marketing vehicle. The work one encounters may or may not be for sale in some other venue of the real or virtual world, but it is not for sale here (although prints, posters, post cards and coffee mugs may be found in the museum store).

The Digital Museum of Modern Art necessarily sprang from the work of a small group of visionary artists and writers, testing the proposition: "All art can be reduced to a sequence of binary bits . . . zeros and ones in endless succession," but its galleries welcome others, with the goal of displaying art that was created by digital methods, which has been manipulated by digital means, or which, if nothing more, comments on "being digital".

Artists are invited to submit their art, under the precepts of the Viridian Green Manifesto, for possible inclusion in the museum collection; or to send proposals for special exhibitions. Slowly at first, the museum will grow.
